    Author: Gladden PB, Wilson CH, Suk M.
    Journal: Semin Pediatr Surg; 2004 May; 13(2):119-25. PubMed ID: 15362282.
    Abstract:
    Musculoskeletal injuries in the pediatric population are unique and require a thorough evaluation by a trained specialist. Unlike adults, many of the injuries may be treated closed due to the amazing growth and remodeling potential of children. Special consideration should be taken in treating certain fracture patterns to prevent the long-term consequences of growth deformities and protect children from child abuse. It is the goal of this article to outline common orthopedic injuries in the pediatric population to facilitate proper care in the multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment of children.
